Los gérmenes de los perros domésticos podrían proteger a los bebés contra infecciones, según investigadores

According to a new study highlighted on August 6, 2026, germs from domestic dogs may help protect infants against infections. Researchers found that children living with companion dogs experience fewer respiratory infections and require fewer rounds of antibiotics compared to children who are not exposed to canines.

The findings suggest that early exposure to canine microbes plays a beneficial role in children's health by reducing the incidence of common respiratory illnesses and the subsequent need for antibiotic treatments during infancy.
